ABOUT HOLDEN BEACH:
Welcome to Holden Beach, North Carolina, where family values and old fashioned fun are still a part of your vacation. Holden Beach has a very small commercial area on the island. That point is considered by many to be a key reason to keep them coming back year after year. While there are limited commercial establishments on the island, everything one could desire is located within a short driving distance.
The causeway leading to the island contains numerous specialty stores and shops, and the Town of Shallotte just 10 minutes away has several chain grocery and department stores that provide all the necessities. Wilmington and Myrtle Beach are only 35-45 minutes away and if you can't find what you're looking for there, it doesn't exist.
There are over 125 superb golf courses within a one-hour drive from Holden Beach. Courses range from very challenging to user-friendly for golfers who don't always hit the ball where they want it to go. The Myrtle Beach area is perhaps the best region in the United States to find a course just right. Seasonal rates vary.
Boating, fishing and hiking the island are very popular activities. Shell hunters can find so many that the kids will fill up the car when they return home. The island is a sea turtle habitat and hi during the hatching season (May to October) those who don't mind staying up late at night can witness one of nature's most interesting pleasures – watching hundreds of small sea turtles "boil' out of the sand and marching to the ocean.
There is no other North Carolina barrier island like Holden Beach. If you're looking for low commercial impact and a wholesome family-oriented atmosphere, you have come to the right place.

Great week with the family at Contentment!!
Our seven night stay was delightful!! The layout of the house, the pool, the inviting back porch, and the non-crowded beachfront location make this a perfect house for a relaxing vacation. We have been coming to Holden Beach for 40 years and this is one of the best houses we have ever rented.
Highly recommend!

Lovely ocean front home.
This home was very clean, well stocked with comfortable beds! Our family very much enjoyed our stay on Holden Beach in Contentment On The Beach. The kitchen was well stocked had everything we needed for our meals. Our grandchildren especially enjoyed the pool after swims in the ocean. And we were fortunate to see a doe with her fawn one evening as well as watching dolphins in the ocean. It was a fun and relaxing week :)
Wow! You've got a skilled photographer in your family. You captured the amazing views and location perfectly. Thank you ! Beth and Bill

Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our family of 6 plus 3 extra bedrooms where we could easily have fit more family or friends. Comfortable living room and well-stocked kitchen. Phenomenal beach location!! Very short walk to the beach and never crowded all week. Loved that I could see our beach chairs from the kitchen window. Nice pool with plenty of chairs and 2 big umbrellas. We had a great week at Holden Beach!

First and foremost, our host was communicative—quick to respond to any and all messages, welcoming, and helpful from booking to checkout.The house was very clean and the kitchen well stocked. Plenty of cookware, dishes, and seating for our family of 10.Location on the beach was beautiful! The pool is small, but so are our grandchildren, so it suited us fine. The main porch overlooking the beach had plenty of rockers.The room arrangement was also well suited to our needs except for bathrooms. Two of the 6 bedrooms did not have bathrooms, and there was no communal half or whole bathroom, which meant a good deal of traipsing through someone else’s space. Even so, we had a wonderful week at Contentment On The Beach!

Contentment on the Beach is the place for a wonderful family vacation!
Contentment on the Beach is a beautiful home that provided the perfect spot for a wonderful family vacation. The home is well stocked with everything you need for the stay. The pool is the perfect addition for a beach vacation to relax away from the waves. We travelled with children and the pool was just what they needed for a place to play after the fun in the sand. The view is AMAZING! We would book here again no question!
